From Honda Japan:

It probably will have the footwork whose feeling is better to everyday life. The modern design which is refined. Feeling the beat of V-Twin which bears the running which is good. Furthermore light conduct power is boosted, the tachometer of the seat high new equipment where the foot arriving is good. The steering wheel is grasped. And it starts running. It can encounter the scenery which is full in the shining where when the origin is different with just that.

Looks like a slightly smaller version of the Honda Hawk.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
